Product Description for Min 1.25ct 7mm Round TanzaniteTanzanite was discovered in 1967. It has a unique violet-blue to blue color that only Ceylon sapphire and iolite come close to matching, with red-violet flashes. Tanzanite ranks a respectable 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs' scale, but loose stones and jewelry like rings and bracelets need to be treated with care to prevent damage. Tanzanite is only found in one place in the world, Tanzania, and the continued availability of tanzanite is uncertain, which increases its rarity and its price.

"I was so excited to receive this stone--I thought that I would FINALLY get the color I had been waiting for! The stone itself was clean, beautifully cut but a light violet. I was so disappointed that I sent it back. This is the 4th Tanzanite that I have ordered, and the most expensive, and I'm almost tired of trying! I kept the other three, they weren't as expensive, and I could live with the lighter color as they were good buys, but this time I just couldn't justify keeping the stone I received in comparison to the one I saw showcased on Dawn's show. If they show a dark blue stone then that's what they should ship! And the shipping cost on this was way over the top! Anyway, if you can live with a lighter colored stone when you expected a nice gemmy dark blue, go for it--I sure can't!
I have always been pleased with every stone I have received from JTV except the Tanzanite--what gives????"

Fast Facts
| The mineral zoisite was discovered around 1805 in the Austrian area by a Baron for whom it was named. It was usually brown in color, often nearly opaque. |
| The discovery by accident of the tanzanite version, in the late 1960's was a great surprise in Tanzania Africa, where it was first thought to be sapphire crystals. |
| The name Tanzanite was coined by Tiffany who had first and exclusive rights to the pretty blue violet mineral for many years. |
| Wearing a well-cut Tanzanite communicates self-confidence, individuality, and maturity. |
 Its brilliant color and its exclusive origin in Tanzania combine to make Tanzanite a unique and highly sought after gemstone. |
|
Tanzanite is a variety of zoisite. It has naturally occurring shades of blue, green, yellow, pink, brown and khaki but virtually all gemstone quality crystals are heat treated to produce the highly valued shades of sapphire blue, amethyst and blue violet. On Mohs’ scale of hardness, tanzanite is 6.5-7. The prime source of all the world’s tanzanite is in Tanzania near Arusha.
